- 1/2 white onion, chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots thawed
- 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce more or less to taste
- 2 eggs lightly beaten

Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, ground beef, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink. Drain any leftover oil from the meat. Remove from the wok and set aside.
- Returning to the same wok, add the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil, onion, peas, and carrots. Cook until tender.

- Add the cooked rice to the veggie and egg mixture. Pour the soy sauce on top. Stir and fry the rice and veggie mixture until warmed through and combined.
- Add the cooked ground beef back to the rice and veggie mixture and stir to combine.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped green onion if desired.
